Visual Workflows

Build complex automation flows with a drag-and-drop workflow editor.

Overview

The workflow editor provides:

• 30+ node types for various operations
• Drag-and-drop interface
• Real-time preview of workflow structure
• Execution tracking and history
• Error handling and retries

Creating Workflows

Via Dashboard

1. Navigate to Workflows in the sidebar
2. Click New Workflow
3. Drag nodes from the palette
4. Connect nodes by dragging from output to input handles
5. Configure each node's properties
6. Save and activate the workflow

Workflow Canvas

The canvas provides:

• Zoom and pan controls
• Mini-map for navigation
• Grid snapping
• Undo/redo
• Copy/paste nodes

Node Configuration

Each node has configurable properties accessed in the side panel.

Example: HTTP Request

{
  "type": "http-request",
  "data": {
    "method": "POST",
    "url": "https://api.example.com/data",
    "headers": {
      "Authorization": "Bearer {{secrets.api_key}}"
    },
    "body": {
      "message": "{{previous.output}}"
    }
  }
}

Variables & Expressions

Syntax

Use double curly braces for dynamic values:

{{variable.path}}
{{previous.output}}
{{context.user.email}}
{{secrets.api_key}}

Available Contexts

Context	Description
previous	Output from previous node
trigger	Trigger node data
context	Workflow context
secrets	Stored secrets
env	Environment variables

Execution

Manual Trigger

Click the Run button to execute immediately.

Scheduled Trigger

Link to a schedule for automatic execution.

Webhook Trigger

Create a webhook URL for external triggers.

Execution Status

Status	Description
queued	Waiting to start
running	Currently executing
complete	Finished successfully
errored	Failed with error
terminated	Manually stopped

Error Handling

Retry Configuration

{
  "retry": {
    "attempts": 3,
    "delay": 60,
    "backoff": "exponential"
  }
}

Error Handlers

Add error handler nodes to catch and handle failures.

Best Practices

1. Start Simple

Begin with 2-3 nodes and add complexity gradually.

2. Use Descriptive Names

Name nodes clearly: fetch-user-data not node-1.

3. Handle Errors

Always include error handling nodes.

4. Test Thoroughly

Test each execution path before going live.

5. Monitor Executions

Review execution history regularly.
